Doha, Qatar - Thursday, January 31st 2013

A research team at Qatar University (QU) unveiled its latest progress to develop a cheap and efficient "electronic nose” for sensing toxic gases.

The researchers at QU’s multidisciplinary Center for Advanced Materials (CAM) are working with conducting polymers such as polyaniline, polypyrole and polythiophene to create sensors which could be used to sense gaseous pollutants in the atmosphere. This could be of particular use in the petrochemical industry, where metal oxide sensors are currently used, but which are expensive, can only operate under high temperatures and require long recovery periods after each gas exposure. The polymer sensors would also be useful in the electronic engineering industry, for analyzing gases.

Harnessing conducting polymers’ advantages – they are relatively inexpensive, can function in low temperatures and can be exposed repeatedly to gases – the researchers have been working ... Read more »
